for + n. as for + n.

the operative question here is which of the two choices (b)(e) has BETTER PARALLELISM. there is no doubt that (e) has better parallelism than (b).

even if you consider that gerund to be a noun, it still isn't parallel to the other half of the construction.
if you changed it to
as much for having an eccentric personality as for making skillful wax renderings of popular public figures
then we could talk about it. but, as written now, it's clearly inferior to (e).

as well known for+as for CORRECT

when you see this sort of thing tested, this is all you generally need to do:
* find the second part of the comparison (after the signal)
* figure out what the first thing should be (to create parallelism)
* see if it's there

E:
the second thing (after 'as') is for her skillful wax renderings of popular public figures.
for + THING
...so the first thing should be for her eccentric personality.
this exact construction is there.

B:
the second thing (after 'as') is for skillful wax renderings of popular public figures.
for + THING
...so the first thing should be for her eccentric personality.
this isn't there. instead we have "for + verbING".

E = clear winner, B = clear loser.

Ron：
choice a: bad parallelism
because of... is not parallel to for...

choice b exhibits poor parallelism:
having an eccentric personality is placed in parallel with skilful wax renderings....

choice c: extremely bad parallelism
- one part is a phrase (because of ...), and the other part is a complete clause (she was for her ...)
- same issue as choice a, because vs. for

choice d: bad parallelism
- you can't get rid of the 'for' in the second part (it should be '...as for having...')
- wordy (compare with the compact wording in choice e)

choice e exhibits proper parallelism, in that both of the parallel items are noun phrases (the principal nouns being personality and renderings).

as well known ... as ... 正确
不应该是be well known as much... as...
B里的那个having选的时候就觉得别扭，前后也不平行

B选项having an eccentric personality不如her eccentric personality来的好来的直接；原句应该是要表达PLW因为她的eccentric personality出名而不是因为 “有” eccentric personality而出名

D，as well known for/ as for才是正确的平行。
将well known看成形容词，as good as而不是is good as much as

He became as well known for A as for B, 表示比较的是for A VS for B，“正如因为B（他变得有名）一样，他出名因为A”。ok
=He became well known as much for A as for B
=He became well known for A as much as for B

考察as ... as ...的平行结构。E：此题的原意是became well known for ... and for ...，而为了和 as ... as ... 搭配使用，需将结构变化为 became as well known for ... and for ... 。而如果保持结构不变，则是became well known as for ... as for ... ，但此结构明显不如 became as well known for ... and for ... 好，但两者都是正确的。

考察as ... as ...的平行结构。be well known for因……而闻名，被人熟知
B，became well known as much for ... as for ...，分析里面的as……as结构，became well known as much as，well作副词修饰known时已经表示程度，如A do sth as well as B，不再加much，所以as直接放在well前面， became as well known for ... as for ...

形容词放as前后都可以

考察as ... as ...的平行结构。E：此题的原意是became well known for ... and for ...，而为了和 as ... as ... 搭配使用，需将结构变化为 became as well known for ... and for ... 。而如果保持结构不变，则是became well known as for ... as for ... ，但此结构明显不如 became as well known for ... and for ... 好，但两者都是正确的。

B选项初看似乎for… and for… 形式对称，但是仔细研究不难发现，for引导的部分，在此选项中分别为having something 和 something (skillful wax renderings), 前者为动宾关系的词组，后者为单一的名词，并非严格对称

严格的平行 改变了句子的意思 语法大于句意

well know 为什么要放在 as 的后面？

well know 为什么要放在 as 的后面？
